Question

4.You can buy a machine for $100,000 that will produce a net income, after operating expenses, of $10,000 per year. If you plan to keep the machine for four years, what must the market (resale) value be at the end of four years to justify the investment

Answer 1

$124,966.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the market or resale value is shown below:

$100,000 = $10,000 ÷ (1.15^1) + $10,000 ÷ (1.15^2) + $10,000 ÷ (1.15^3) + $10,000 ÷ (1.15^4) + Resale value ÷ (1.15^4)

$100,000 = $8695.65 + $7561.44 + $6575.16 + $5717.53 + Resale value ÷ 1.749006

Resale value ÷1.749006 = $71,450.22

So, the resale value is = $124,966.9

We simply applied the present value formula
